I wouldn’t say I say that I am strict. I would say that I am working towards what’s best for the company’s image.

Returning Mother Scheme for new mums to come back

Flight attendants are usually females so it’s surprising to know that the upper ranks have more men than women.

Ms Fang revealed that many women want to start a family and leave the company. In contrast, men don’t have to worry about gaining weight due to childbirth.

Ms Fang emphasised,

We do have a returning mother scheme but when they come back they must be able to fit into the uniform.

The documentary did not reveal the size of the sarong kebaya worn by flight attendants. But Ms Fang advised that mums returning to work must lose weight because of customers’ expectations.

World-class service

We believe the documentary has given viewers a newfound appreciation for flight attendants who make our country proud.

Like any industry, offering premium services and offerings take a lot of hard work and dedication. The ‘Singapore Girls’ have always been a symbol of Asian hospitality, but they have a strict training regimen to be successful in their iconic profession.

The video is only a small portion of Channel 4’s four-part SIA documentary. Although the entire programme can be viewed on the company’s website, only viewers based in the United Kingdom or Ireland can watch it in full.
